Lions GM open to trading out of No. 2 spot

The Detroit Lions won't be declining any calls for the No. 2 pick.

General manager Brad Holmes said he's open to moving out of the spot in this year's draft.

"I'm always open for whatever," Holmes told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "We're still in the early stages of it, we've got a good feel of the class. We're at a much better place at this stage of the process than last year. But, still, we've got a lot more work to do. But, I'm never scared to move around, so we're definitely open for business, always."

In the midst of a rebuild, the Lions finished their first campaign under Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell with a 3-13 record. They averaged just 19.1 points per game and allowed 27.5 points, second worst in the NFL.

The Lions have held a top-10 pick in four consecutive offseasons. They selected offensive tackle Penei Sewell (No. 7 in 2021), cornerback Jeff Okudah (No. 3 in 2020), and tight end T.J. Hockenson (No. 8 in 2019) in the last three drafts.
